The provision of housing for civil servants was crucial for bureaucratic stability and productivity, yet public housing literature predominantly focused on low-income groups. This study evaluated the effectiveness of State Civil Apparatus (Aparatur Sipil Negara/ASN) vertical housing provision by the Ministry of Public Works (Pekerjaan Umum/PU) in Sleman Regency, focusing on allocation targeting accuracy and residents' quality of life enhancement. Employing a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 71 respondents (68 residents and 3 managers) through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations. The results indicated that the housing provision was functionally effective, characterized by high occupancy rates and proportional representation across administrative ranks. Quality of life also improved, as evidenced by increased commuting time efficiency, which enhanced work productivity and discipline. However, procedural effectiveness remained suboptimal due to offline quota allocation practices based on Working Units (Satuan Kerja/Satker), which distorted the integrated online registration system and neglected actual employee needs. Additionally, minimal communal social interaction raised concerns about neighborhood security. The study recommended abolishing the institutional quota system to reinstate objective digital selection and implementing community management programs to foster social cohesion.
